This evening was my work holiday party and the first time we left Cooper with a non-family member for a night out.  We used the nanny service referred through work and everything went smoothly.  I had the nanny arrive an hour before I left so I could get things organized, pump and get ready while someone was here to watch Cooper.   It was really weird to be the one writing childcare instructions when I had only been on the receiving end watching other people’s kids up until now.  Rob and I enjoyed this Microsoft holiday party and look forward to the Amazon celebrations in January.
